Abstract
Cucumber land use plays an important part in global agriculture. According to the latest data for 2022, China stands out as the largest producer with 1.31 Mha. This trend shows that China has been a leader in agricultural production for many years. In China, cucumber production is booming due to climatic conditions and the development of agricultural technology. In addition, China’s large-scale agricultural production not only meets domestic demand, but also has a significant impact on the export market. Meanwhile, other countries are also working on cucumber cultivation, and each region has its own distinctive production. For example, cultivation is carried out taking advantage of the warm climate in Mediterranean countries, and greenhouse cultivation is popular in Nordic countries. Globally, cucumber production can be said to have a stable foundation, despite increasing demand and being affected by climate change. In the future, it will be necessary to stabilize production volume and improve quality while adapting to the introduction of sustainable agricultural technologies and changing market needs.
Cucumber land use (worldwide)
Analyzing data on land use for cucumbers over the past few decades, it is noteworthy that China’s land use reached 1.31Mha in 2022. The figure of 100% compared to the peak indicates the stability of cucumber production in China. China has been a leader in agriculture for many years and has increased the efficiency of cucumber production through technological innovation and large-scale production. Meanwhile, other regions are seeing different trends. For example, cucumber production is increasing in Europe due to greenhouse cultivation and technological innovation. In addition, emerging countries such as South Asia and Southeast Asia are increasing cucumber production due to agricultural modernization and improved access to markets. These trends suggest that cucumber production will stabilize globally and there is room to meet demand. However, factors such as climate change and market changes leave uncertainty about future productivity and regional competitiveness. It is expected that the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices and technological innovation will play an important role in addressing these challenges.

Cucumber land use (latest year, countries around the world)
Looking at the land use data for the agricultural crop cucumber in 2022, China has the largest share of 1.31 Mha, accounting for about 60% of the total. This reflects China’s long-standing position as the center of agricultural production. In addition, the average land use area of 15.8 kha shows that cucumber production is relatively widespread. The total figure of 2.17 Mha shows that cucumber cultivation is widespread worldwide, but China’s influence is prominent. From the trends so far, it can be seen that while cucumber production is concentrated mainly in China, it is also actively cultivated in other regions. Although there are differences in production volume and quality due to differences in climatic conditions and agricultural techniques in each region, it can be said that the demand for cucumbers is still high globally. In the future, it will be necessary to stabilize production volume and improve quality while adapting to the spread of sustainable agricultural methods and changes in market demand.
The maximum is 2.3Mt of Canada, the average is 145kt, and the total is 6.66Mt
Cucumber land use (continent)
According to the land use data for the agricultural crop cucumber in 2022, Asia accounts for the largest share of 1.63 Mha, which is the current maximum. This indicates that Asia is the main producer of cucumbers. It can be seen that cucumber cultivation is widespread despite the regional diversity throughout Asia. It is believed that production in East Asia, especially China, accounts for a large proportion. Cucumber cultivation is also carried out in regions outside Asia, but on a relatively small scale. Cucumber production has different characteristics in regions such as Europe, North America, and South America due to differences in climatic conditions and agricultural systems. The fact that the maximum value in Asia is the current maximum indicates that the demand for cucumbers in the Asian region is still increasing. In the future, it is expected that production will increase and quality will improve due to the spread of sustainable agricultural methods and technological innovation. However, diversification of cucumber production areas will be required, taking into account factors such as climate change and market changes.
The maximum is 3.78Mt[2016] of North America, and the current value is about 67.8%
Cucumber land use (latest year, continent)
Looking at the land use data for the 2022 crop cucumber, Asia accounts for the largest share of 1.63 Mha, reaching about 75% of the total. It is clear that Asia is the overwhelming producer. With an average land use area of 362 kha, it can be seen that cucumber production is carried out over a relatively wide area. The total figure of 2.17 Mha shows that cucumber cultivation is widespread worldwide, but it also highlights the large influence of the Asian region. Based on past trends, it can be said that cucumber production is concentrated mainly in Asia, with relatively small-scale production in other regions. Although there are differences in production volume and quality due to differences in climatic conditions and agricultural techniques in each region, the demand for cucumbers is stable globally. In the future, it will be necessary to stabilize production volume and improve quality while adopting sustainable agricultural methods and adapting to changes in market demand.
The maximum is 2.6Mt of Asia, the average is 1.11Mt, and the total is 6.66Mt
